I have been a practicing jeweller since 1984 after gaining my degree at Central School of Art & Design, London. My work is exhibited nationally, I have taken part in prestigious shows such as Goldsmiths’ Fair, London and exhibited with Dazzle at the National Theatre, Edinburgh Fringe and Manchester for many years. As well as taking part in exhibitions, I also work to private commission, often working closely with the client.
